• Installation
- Location -
Do not locate the RPE/RPX sensor near inlets/outlets.
If there is surface wave action, then it may be advisable to use a stilling tube. If
a stilling tube is used, drill vent holes in the tube and use a spacer to assure the
float has free travel inside the tube.
Wave action will cause signal bounce.
Use a stilling tube to provide a
smooth output signal.
- Mounting -
The RPE/RPX can be mounted up to 20
0
from vertical.
1. Flange Mounting
Provide the compatible mating flange on the tank and install using a suitable
gasket.
2. Plug Mounting
Provide the compatible female boss on the tank and install the RPE/RPX with
a suitable gasket, O-ring, or thread tape.
